Someone brought it up during a Q&A while he was with the Pirates and he said something like “The first time I attempted a head first slide I realized they were a huge mistake.”

Mustaches. Nipple rings. Jason Giambi’s biker persona.

I bet Steinbrenner had a huge collection of Tom of Finland’s work.

Thu, 30 Jan 2014 13:50:48 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=510195#comment-648682He can be a very frustrating pitcher. He can dominate for a few innings, then have a terrible inning followed by a couple more excellent innings. Still, he is the best free agent pitcher out there. I would welcome him back in Toronto on a 1 year contract.
